Without the trolls, the forums would be quite boring.
Mods? Please?

Nice idea. I wish there were more illiterate moderators from poor 3rd world countries too. It's a nice way to help illiterate people get better in life.
Tired of illiterate moderators from rich 1st world countries?

One person's troll may be another person's reason for being here. A certain amount of "trolling," using the word in it's most liberal sense, is tolerated, perhaps even desirable and certainly debatable.
That said, I'm predicting an abbreviated vocal presense for GreedyPawnEater.

I feel strongly it depends on the thread. A serious question - give it a serious answer. OP posts nonsense, different.
There is the 1 page rule too: After the first page, where most real answers are given, the thread is open season.

The news about GreedyPawnEater made this topic surprisingly pleasant to read, thank you CrystalMoon!

trolls are the life of the forums !
Could you imagine how boring it would be if all we ever talked about around here was chess?

GreedyPawnEater doesn't just troll, he stalks people, as you can see. He is thoroughly disruptive wherever he goes. You could not set a lower standard than to let him dump on any thread he wants to and stalk whoever he wants to.

I can't think of any.
Because they get chased away.
GPE is mostly ineffectual as a troll. And he produces an occasional piece of interesting trolling.
Well, if we have mods here I am surprised.
Perhaps chess.com should hire normal forum moderators as we have some obvious trolls and forum spammers here.
Not going to say nicknames, as those trolls would show up here as well (probably will anyway), but those of you who uses chess.com forums much will know what I am talking about.
